tuf neck stem timeline

[markyp]

just out of curiosity really,ive got two tuf necks,one has got the tiger looking left and says below it tuf neck usa,the other has a bigger tiger looking right and says above it tuf neck and below it pro model,the latter has slightly rounder edges,although i think that is due to the fact that the former has been polished and taken off the slightly convex edge,so which tuf necks came when please

I didn't know that, I thought Tuf Neck Pro Neck were somehow joined because there stems are almost idenical

I think that they started off as the one company then split into two, or something along those lines,

Father and son businesses 

I beleive that the early Square Edge stems with an oval TN decal were available early 76, these then became round edged in about 1980/81 and acquired the embossed stamp c.1982 (maybe earlier but can't be sure)

  think you need to polish that stem 

I'd tidy up the bolts and refinish the edges and maybe refinish with the satin look
